Has anybody seen or tried 20" wheels?
i have set of staggerd 18" amg monoblocks with h&r springs.
i was wondering if it was possible to fit 20" dronells on my car and what would be the right set up. no springs or with. what size tires etc. i know that dronells are made for the w203 and i don't think they would produce this wheel if it couldn't fit. does anybody know the right setup? thanks in advance.
AND YES I KNOW I COULD RUN INTO POSSIBLE PROBLEMS WITH THIS SIZE OF A WHEEL.

i guess you can....anything can be done...but you do know that you will probably get hit getting on the interstate...as it is going to take you about 30 seconds just to get to about 60 mph:p
haha...j/k bro....but really....i wouldnt consider the 20inch wheels...unless you really...really...wanted them

yeah you can fit 20's in but you have to do some major chages on your shock, like changing to coilover or something. Somebody here post a sedan with 20's a while ago. If you think about it, most people fit 19 with 35 profile, so 20 with 25 profile should be allright right??

I put 19x8 and 19x9.5 carlsson 2/5 I can tell you this the front wheel almost rub against the strut tower.... no problems with the rears....20 might be a problem trying to find the right tire and width for the front.

What springs?
Any mods to the rear arches required?
Spring pad#'s?
I may go down to 19x9's because it's rubs when fully loaded while using H&R's...trying to wait for the dampers to come out...My wife's car, Maxine
